‘Point zero zero one’ short film

Posted on 13th May, 2012 by Stephen Curtain

Point zero zero one (0.001) is the approximate percentage of the Australian continent occupied by the Australian Alps.

Bordering one Territory and two States, this biogeographical island supplies invaluable fresh water to much of south east Australia and provides outstanding natural, spiritual and cultural values.

Although the Australian Alps were recently recognised as a national iconic landscape by federal national park agencies and Tourism Australia in recognition of such values (see australia.com/campaigns/nationallandscapes/AustralianAlps.htm), World Heritage Listing still eludes the Australian Alps.

In a warming climate, could such a listing contribute to stem climate effects on this region?

Point zero zero one celebrates the fleeting beauty of these Alps.

This short film is an entrant to Bristol’s 2012 Wildscreen Festival in the UK. Visit http://www.wildscreenfestival.org/

Kitchen Thinkin by Stuart Coleman, recorded in Stu’s and Anik’s kitchen, Vancouver, Canada. Ex-pat, surfer and wood-turner, Stu Coleman crafted this little number for the opening sequence of Winter Dreaming. Grass-roots, acoustic vibes—thanks man.

Discovery

Posted on 17th March, 2011 by Stephen Curtain

Bright Helicopters, co-responsible for the award-winning aerial footage in Winter Dreaming, has changed its name to Discovery Helicopters. Craig Campbell and his team of pilots were completely open, supportive and collaborative over three consecutive years of filming. Swift but delicate, calculated manoeuvering was required over the whitewater rivers and snowy peaks of the Australian Alps, at times only 15 metres off the deck. The end result? Outstanding. Spectacular. Award-winning. Winter Dreaming‘s (http://eucalyptproductions.com/winterdreaming) aerial sequences truly capture the wild, wintry beauty of Australia’s alpine area, appreciated and celebrated globally by audiences in Japan, Austria, Canada, Russia and even in Antarctica.

The Spirit

Posted on 20th October, 2010 by Stephen Curtain

From an outdoor and naturalist’s perspective, the Southern Highlands in NSW are a magical mix of cliffs, remnant eucalypt forests, waterfalls and canyons. Outdoor Spirit offers adventure and culinary adventures to some of these sites under the friendly instruction of its owner Guy L’Estrange and his great team. Eucalypt Productions’ Stephen Curtain is proud to support Outdoor Spirit’s aim of encouraging people—no matter their age—to get ‘out bush’. If there happened to be a café latte and a home-baked muffin at the end of an outing, then even better!
